《Guardians : Awakening of Athene》Chapter 5: The Talking Rabbit
Advertisement
- Three days ago - Outside the Castle of Verona -
The wind chilled through Alice's silver hair, she wandered through the forest. It's been two days since she left the castle, all the food and water were mostly gone due to the war. She recognized she needed food but as a princess, she never hunted nor even been outside the castle. Wandering aimlessly, hoping to find someone or something that could guide her in this world.
She walked on the beautiful snow and passes by uncountable amounts of winter bugs. For hours, there is no human insight, no voice to be heard and no sound to be made. It feels as if she's trapped, cold and lonely with no source of warmth nor food. Her body weakens as her steps became slower, affected by the cold weather. Her breath heavily slows down, hugging herself to fight against the cold.
"No! Don't Sir Lancelot's isn't food!" A squeaky voice echoes through the woods. Noises of footsteps came closer as Alice scans her vision against the forest.
—Wisdom Eye — She chanted. Intangibles data spread through her vision.
- Command: Search: Sir Lancelot" - Alice's voice barely hearable.
Her vision landed on a dashing rabbit running from a snow boar. Alice laughs gently as she walks toward the rabbit. She hasn't smiled in a while, not to say laughing. Rabbits are common in Verona, they are a source of food for hunters and some even take them in as pets. But a talking rabbit is rare, most monsters do not have human speech expect for highly intelligent humanoids. But a talking rabbit, Alice doesn't know anything like that.
She lifts her right hand, revealing her palms. White mana particles flow through her arms, creating a spellcaster's crest floating on her palm.

— Angel Feather : Command : Kill : Target : Boar —
Feathers pure as snow scattered and flew across the forest. Launching themselves into every boar within their range. Blood spattered from the boars, as the feathers pierce through their hearts.
Lancelot trips and rolls on the white grass stopping himself at a tree trunk. He shakes his head, only to see the albino snow boar howling at him. Jaws opening wide, thrusting his body against the helpless rabbit. "I am sorry! Please don't kill me!" The rabbit covers his head and ducked in onto the snow shaking in fear.
Angelic feathers swim with the wind and launched itself into the heart of the monster. Blood splatter and spread across Lancelot's adorable face.
"Are you alright?" Alice appears in front of him. Reaching her hands and picking him up with both arms.
The rabbit opens his eyes, a beautiful black haired with silver highlights appeared in this visions. "Hi, I am Sir Lancelot! The bravest warrior in the history of Verona!" He explains himself in excitement.
Alice smiles gently and made a small enchanting laugh. "But you are a rabbit, how can you talk?" Her angelic goddess smile and her enchanting voice captivated him.
He stunned himself, unable to respond to her question, only leaving a dull and dumb expression on his face. Only a while, he managed to agitate his mind and made a small voice. "Take me with you" The rabbit's gentle voice breakthrough Alice's broken heart. She realizes the rabbit must be lonely as well, being hunted by the stronger beasts. Being weak and alone in this cruel world, you are only a fodder.
Her voice deepens as she stares into the blue sky. "For a rabbit to survive, he must grow horns."
She dropped the rabbit onto the snow and directs her body towards the dead boar. She closes her eyes and chanted. -Athene-

Blank space of white puzzle pieces appears in front of her. "Search: Fire Magic -
Pieces of puzzle pieces disappear one after another, but there were still many more. Alice became impatient. "Athene, I need something to roast meat!" She shouted and her voice echoes throughout the space. All the glass pieces vanished, only leaving one flowing to Alice's hands. She opens her eyes and comes in contact with the boar, resting her hand on his dead body.
- Ignite - She chanted, a small fire appears and spreads through the dead meat.
Burning it and cooking it until edible. The delicious smell of roasted meat triggers their stomach to growl, she ripped out one of the legs and threw it to Lancelot. She stares at him with a serious expression. "Eat and get stronger", she continues to break the meat into pieces and devours like a monster who hasn't eaten in years.

My Servant Is An Elf-Knight From Another World
It was just like any other day, or so I thought at least. The birds were chirping up on trees, clouds were rolling by the bright blue sky and Elves were dumpster diving in the alleyway. Okay, one of those three didn't sound right... I had a boring life once. Recently though, it has become less boring... to put it one way. Finding a random Elf in the dumpster? Heh, must be a Monday. A normal person would have walked by. A normal person would have ignored it. I must be a pretty weird guy, then. Now I have this Elf swearing her allegiance to me. What's next, vampires? Better not jinx it.

D Days
Dragons were the apex predators of the magical world, feared for their strength and intelligence. They stood at the pinnacle of creation, until mankind fueled by fear and envy banded together and struck them down as the greatest threat to the continued existence of their kingdoms. Peace reigned for many years across the continent, until an accident in the Magocracy of Ken turned one of the most powerful mage lords into a power mad lich. Raising an undead army and creating a cult that worshipped him like a god, he cut a bloody swath across the continent in a bid to create his own domain. A great alliance consisting of the Kingdom of Light, the Magocracy of Ken, the Forest Kingdom of the Elves, the Mountain Kingdom of the Dwarves, and the Wild Tribes of the West rose up and the high lich was defeated, his armies destroyed, and his cult scattered. Still recovering, the world is a constant state of petty power struggles and back biting between nations. Border disputes are common and the constant fighting has taken a toll on the populations of all the nations. Of course, none of this has much bearing on the everyday life of a an ordinary young orphan in the care of a Temple run home. Or does it? *Current Word Count as of 8/4/18: 59,415 I am shooting for at least one update a week. Also, if you see any mistakes let me know and I will fix them. Cover by!*

Totally Not a Chosen Hero
Jesse's life just started to get great. He bought a comfy apartment, received an offer for a six-figure job, and scored a date with the girl of his dreams. But then, parallel world wizards magically kidnapped Jesse alongside a dozen of strangers. Has no one taught them consent?! The emperor and his confidants told Jesse and other earthlings that they were the Chosen Heroes and a bright future awaited them. Bullshit. That they just needed to learn magical combat at the academy, and then defeating Dark Lords would be easy-peasy. Oh yeah? That as long as they completed their sacred duty, they could choose to return to Earth or continue living on Aethelrend as kings and queens. No thanks. While other so-called Heroes were easily tricked by empty promises of power, riches, and even immortality, Jesse knew better than to believe his kidnappers. He was getting the hell out.
